DO NOT GO HERE! I purchased a Groupon for a massage, and…read morewhen I arrived, they scanned my barcode. THEN I was told that the Groupon was only valid for a massage from the manager, a man, which I am not comfortable with. I asked why, and he said that to have a female massage therapist, I cannot use the Groupon and have to pay full price. I explained that I had already paid Groupon and asked if I could pay the difference, and they said no. I asked for a refund and was told no, that I have to contact Groupon and try to get a refund. It isn't easy to get a refund from Groupon because he already scanned the barcode. I left feeling very frustrated due to the false advertising - their website only shows female therapists, and the Groupon makes no mention of the male manager being the only one who honors the offer.

This review is long overdue! Fantastic spa day at Allora Day Spa! Sibil, Kels and Jerry were…read moreoutstanding. Manager Stephanie was also pleasant and welcoming. I booked the Allora Signature package and spent the entire day relaxing and enjoying every service. Next time in town, I will definitely book another Allora spa day. The only change that would have made my experience better is if I did not have to leave the room. Between services, you exit the room and sit in a chair located in a small hallway until the next service. It would've been better and more relaxing, as the client, to stay in the room for all services. Understandably, the spa is small and they do their best to ensure comfort despite the necessary merry go round. This is NOT a deterrent from returning by any means but it did catch me off guard. Gratuity is added and given to an each team member. My appointment was scheduled over the phone which allowed me to customize a service included in the package. A deposit is required at booking and the remaining balance after appointment.

I booked the Allora Signature package 5 hours of services at over $600 and left feeling like I'd…read morepaid premium prices for a below-average experience. It started at check-in. They ask you to arrive 20 minutes early, but there's no reason to: no tour, no walkthrough of the services, no robe, no changing room offered, no one even pointed out the restroom. I was handed a drink and told to "go down the hall, take a right" to the tea room. No escort at a supposed luxury spa. My 90-minute massage started 5 minutes late and ended 13 minutes early. I paid for 90 minutes and received 72. Back in the tea room, another guest's child was playing in the candy, the fountain, and the drinking water while I waited another 10 minutes past my scheduled time. The facial was not the anti-aging facial described just basic rubbing and dermaplaning, delivered after I could hear staff gossiping in the lobby. The "hand and foot treatment" was a dry rub with exfoliation gloves before strapping on lotion-filled gloves and booties. The scalp massage was so perfunctory I asked the technician to stop and end the service early. It felt like they were padding out the clock to make up for time shaved off everything else. Think Massage Envy at triple+ the price. If you're considering the top-tier package here, don't. There is nothing signature or luxury about it.

If this hadn't been recommended to me by someone I trusted, I would have thought this was a *wink…read morewink nudge nudge* "massage parlor". The outside (and inside) is old and run down, and let's face it, it is named Shangri-La. However, my bestie and I decided to give it a go, and it ended up being awesome. The front counter person was amazing, and explained everything in detail. Separate women and men sides, separate locker rooms, separate hot tubs and saunas. Then a communal room with small restaurant, small pool, salt spa and clay spa. You can use everything for $33, or you can pay extra for the whole body wash, facial, hair wash experience, which is what my friend and I did. The system is as follows: pay upfront at the counter, and women are handed a pink outfit to change into, and a key to your locker. My friend and I dropped off our stuff, then went and soaked in the hot tub for about 20 minutes. Then we were called for our scrub. This is the part that was unlike anything I've ever done. You are doused in warm water, then every body part is scrubbed hard with a loofah and scrub salt until there is not an iota of extra skin anywhere on your body. Then oil is put everywhere, all the while laying there with a fresh cucumber mask. It was definitely a "hurt so good" experience, and even days later my skin is the smoothest it has ever been. After that we dressed in our pink outfits, and went to the communal area to sit in the salt spa for a while and to grab something light to eat. This is the only area you can have your electronics with you. There was only one man doing everything in the restaurant (cooking, order taking, etc.), so our Korean pancake took about half an hour to make, and many others waited quite a long time to even place their food order You definitely don't come here for the ambiance, but my friend and I can't wait to come back, as this really was such an wonderful way to pamper ourselves.

So, this Korean spa is the only one of its kind in Tampa. I have searched far and wide, unless you…read moreare willing to drive a few hours or fly, this place is not bad for what you pay for. The key point to remember if you pay hamburger price, you won't get steak. With that in mind, here are the negatives and positive. Negatives (every place has it) : It's older & dated. There are some odd things like jewelry they are selling. There are random rooms scattered as private office making it a bit confusing. Next to the cold indoor pool, there are also odd items. Positive side : You can't beat the day pass of $35 for saunas, cold pool, hot tub, steam room and showers. They have sofa, tables and chairs to relax in every corner They actually serve pretty delicious Korean food for a reasonable price. Portion is generous. They give you gown, towels and other items you need to shower and freshen up to step out. All you need is your swimsuit and personal items. Place is clean and quiet. Not a lot of people. The staff are seen but they won't approach you unless you go up to them to request things. So you get your peace & tranquility. Separate shoe locker and interior locker. Yes. The place is not fancy but just remember to get "fancy" it's usually in the 3 digits. You really can't expect to pay hamburger price and get steak. Until they have similar competitor who charges the same but gives you much more, I still feel it's worth it.
